Default Similarities between x-factor and BB8!

I've just realised there are striking coincidences between this year's x-factor and bb:

1. An Emily was kicked out early for breaking rules!
2. A pantomine villian stole the show, and was the most talked about. (Rhydian & Charley).
3. A pair of fun-loving and happy siblings brought energy and positivity to the show. (Same Difference & Samanda)
4. The winners were unfancied by the bookies and undeserving of the victory. (Leon & Brian)

Weird!!!

Arguably point 4 is incorrect.

That's my opinion and a lot of other people feel the same, but I was right that they were not the bookies' favourites to win.

Well she was forced to leave because of her behaviour and not to damage the show's image, which are similar reasons why EmilyBB was kicked out.

Another similarity is the total lack of talent in general from both casts.

But I suppose that's down to personal opinion and not fact.

Simon reportedly said if she didn't quit, she would be kicked off the competition.

There similarities between the winners of each series.

Series 1 - Craig (BB) and Steve (XF)
Both ok winners out of a bad bunch, never hear of them again

Series 2 - Brian (BB) and Shayne (XF)
Both do work and are still heard of today

Series 3 - Kate(BB) and Leona (XF)
Both very deserving winners of a great series

Series 4 - Cameron (BB) and Leon (XF)
Rubbish series and a rubbish winner.

She was forced to quit after it was discovered she goes around beating people up. So yeah, she was kicked out.

Craig's still about doing shows on the Discovery channel(s) and UKTV Style (i think it's style...)

You're right about the similarities between winners:

Series 1: Both won by males who had a large female fanbase but you look back and struggle to remember why they won. The runners-up on both series were ultimately more successful.( G4 sold more albums and Anna has a successful TV career in Ireland)

Series 2: Both entertaining series with a talented and successful winner who was of Irish heritage.

Series 3: Both brilliant series won by deserving, successful females from London, who's surnames began with L and had W as the third letter - LaWler and LeWis!

Series 4: Both won by dull, forgettable Scots who's first names ended in ON - CamerON and LeON! Both series will probably be remembered for the presence of more eccentric contestants - Jon Tickle and Rhydian Roberts.

Which means series 5 of the X Factor should be brilliant and be won by an entertaining and deserving GROUP as Nadia was both male and female!
